I don't know the cause of your problem, but I've had success with the Solaris/Perl/OracleInstantClient/cron combination by including a BEGIN block in my perl code as below:
BEGIN {
unless (($ENV{BEGIN_BLOCK}) or $^C)
{
$ENV{ORACLE_HOME} = '/usr/local/instantclient';
$ENV{LD_LIBRARY_PATH} = '/lib:/usr/local/instantclient:/usr/local/
+lib';
$ENV{TNS_ADMIN} = '/apps/admin';
$ENV{BEGIN_BLOCK} = 1;
exec 'env',$0,@ARGV;
}
}
Obviously you should set your ORACLE_HOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH env variables to the correct ones for your installations in the above. Note that the TNS_ADMIN env variable tells you where to look for tnsnames.ora.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
